I'm writing this by request.

My attempt: If I whisper love to you, I feel you will leave to somewhere else.

Machine translation: If I whisper love to you, I feel like you're going somewhere.

Any better way to say it?

Thank you, Phil. It's a great explanation. Yes, the original writer wants it to be novel-like.

In English, it would be enough to say “I feel you will leave” or “I feel you will go somewhere else”. There’s no need to state both.

Synonyms of leave: depart, go away

Synonyms of somewhere else: elsewhere, away

Using “away” would be a bit more colloquial. Using “depart” or “elsewhere” would more literary.

This is meant as poetry, right?
